Good evening.
I have a beautiful BRG XF sport brake 2013. I absolutely love the car and it’s in superb condition. However, the alloy wheels are beginning to corrode slightly. My only criticism of the car has always been the the 17inch alloys look, well, a bit small. It’s a premium Luxury spec and I was thinking about changing them to a larger 19 inch second hand set that I have seen for sale. Doubtless the ‘new’ set would require a refresh and a good set of tyres but I am worried about things like tyre pressure monitors, sizes and, well everything really!
I am looking at some Caravela wheels which I know were fitted to some sportbrake’s. I believe that my 17’s are:
XF 2008 - 2015 X250 17 Inch Alloy Wheel Multi Spokes "LIBRA" (Picture below)
and the replacement would be:
19 inch Caravela.
is this a mad idea strewn with headaches? Please could I have some sage advice?
many thanks,
Charles
